Great restaurant the team seems to work together well, it seems very unauthentic for them to be stressed out about saying the word howdy wouldn't just come in it would sound more authentic if it was tailored to their personality like some people might want to say welcome or hello I would feel greeted better if that was the case sounds very fake. Food came out well read it with a smile read more

Tee Jaye's Country Place - Comfort Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

food was nice but Tina is the absolute worst server I have ever experience. She thinks she runs the place which she does not!!!. She flex's her tips and is all around loud. She needs not to work here in my opinion bringing a all around bad vibe in the beautiful restaurant. read more

Walking into Tee Jaye's felt like stepping back into the happiest parts of my childhood. The vintage interior, the friendly service, and the smells of fresh, homemade breakfast and coffee made for a perfect start to the day. All of the food was great! Really enjoyed the fluffy French toast, juicy sausage, perfectly cooked eggs, and their coffee.. I couldn't get enough of! Only thing I didn't care for was the biscuits and gravy.. no flavor. Otherwise, great! The place was full of the nicest older folks, adding to the cozy, hometown charm. If you're looking for a breakfast spot that feels warm and welcoming, Tee Jaye's is it! Great food, great prices, great service. read more

We had the lovely Erica, she was slammed, running the place and didn't break a sweat. She was sweet, attentive and seemed to be the calming presence at the restaurant. Thank you beautiful Erica for excellent service. read more

Tee Jaye's Country Place - Barnyard buster, cheesy grits, and Southern Mushroom Omelette - Comfort Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

OK to be fair I have to comment about TJ's. I've been coming there for years and I've pretty much trashed it all those times the food the music, the cleanliness the service never ever was good. However... things have changed somewhat. I visited last Saturday. I ordered the barnyard Buster. It was delicious. The eggs were perfect. The hot fries were crispy and cooked. I was very pleased. They must have new cooks in the kitchen. I'm only guessing even the music has improved, not continual country hillbilly but mixed in with contemporary James Taylor some Beatles normal kinds of music. Everything was fabulous. The service was professional and fast if not friendly, but that's just one older lady server who just doesn't communicate well other than that I'm very happy with TJ's lately. I know they spent a little bit of money and even the girls now wear clean white shirts, which says a heck of a lot from the filthy dingy dirty shirts they would all come to work in anyway way to go TJ's keep up the good work thank you. read more

I was told this place used to be pretty rough, but I've been ordering from here for about a year now and the food is consistently delicious. Their omelettes are perfect every time and their cheesy grits slap. This is one of my "go-to" places in Cbus and every time I go to actually sit and eat in the restaurant it's packed. read more

Forgot about this location. The only one on the east side of Columbus. Barnyard Buster with 5 eggs. My favorite.

While my partner and I love Tee Jaye's, I have to leave a negative review. The service from Thursday mid-morning to Saturday afternoon is quite appalling. Thursday, I was so blown away with our service we tipped very well. On Saturday we were sat without any greeting or eye contact, and no menus. Our server on Saturday was very soft spoken, could not hear her well. I had asked for a substitute of sausage links instead of bacon on my order and was charged with an extra order of sausage. You can go to this location for good food but not very consistently good service. read more

Good food for a reasonable price, along with good service. I would definitely recommend this place for a good bite to eat

Started off by emergency squads pulling in as we parked. Lots of commotion. Got a seat after a short wait . I was disappointed by the food...the corned beef hash looked like it was out of a can, and my over easy eggs were barely cooked. I do not think we will be returning. read more

I've started dining here at the crack of dawn and the service is always amazing; very polite and respectful staff. Whoever is cooking my meals in the mornin', you're the best! The food is always well cooked and hot. read more

Tee Jaye's Country Place - Down Yonder Breakfast. - Comfort Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I give it a 4 1/2, almost 5. Good food, great prices, would be nice to have a larger selection but they will change things if asked. No fuss, just good food and a lot of it! Plenty of weekly and daily specials, open for holidays (so if you burn the turkey you know where to come). Wait staff, very friendly read more

Just ordered doordash from there and it was the 40.00. Of the worst food ever...would never recommend this place to anyone.

I've never been to this restaurant before and I was very disappointed. I thought I'd try something other than Waffle House. So I ordered breakfast to go and the portions were so small. Waffle House gives more food for a cheaper price. I wouldn't eat here again. read more

Tee Jaye's Country Place - just a tiny bit of hash browns compared to the cup of sausage gravy. - Comfort Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Waited to be sat and watched someone walk through the exit and sit at the bar (where we were told no one was allowed to sit) so I asked if we could sit at the bar. We were told no, again. I said they literally cut all of us in line and sat at the bar and your staff is help serving them. His response - yeah, I know. It happens sometimes. read more

I was served massively thick cold gravy on top of eggs not cooked how I ordered. The potatoes were edible. I left there still hungry. There are too many good restaurants in town to bother going there again. read more

Came in for breakfast/brunch. I ordered the TJ Scramble...hash browns were overcooked and hard...only ate the topping. Overheard one waitress telling folk that a cook & bus person called off. Tables around us were never cleaned until we were about to leave. It's sad..because this place used to be a good place to eat with great service. Things aren't the same anymore...I think generations gone by had a different skill set when it comes to service & cleanliness. Not sure if I will return. :( read more

(I'd give it 2 1/2 stars if I could.) I came for breakfast on Sat. morning about a half hour after they opened. First thing I noticed was the coffee had a weird taste. Maybe greasy, a little bit of an onion taste? The food was good, but not great. Again, a little greasy. Good taste, just.... My waitress was great! Quick, friendly....the service was super. It's just as someone else has said though. You'll wish you'd gone somewhere else. read more

This place sucks. The food is tasteless. Stay away from dinner items, they cannot make them. The mashed potatoes will make you want to weep for better times when things were good. read more

Seever was very inattentive. Onoe stopped by the table to take orders and drop off check. I ordered the eggs benedict expecting get... well, eggs benedict. Instead I was served two eggs, not cooked properly, and potatoes. No ham or english muffin anywhere. Server never came back, so never the opportunity to fix it. Beyond that, we were delivered honey instead of syrup and thanked the stars for the vegetarian in our group not being a vegan. Really disappointing experience after coming from the one in Worthington. Will continue to go to that one in the future. Such a shame. read more

Amazing service! Food is good but the servers made my experience exceptional! Sadly, I learned that you can only find them in Ohio. Great choice if you are looking for fast food but you are tired of McDonalds etc. read more

Good food, good people and always plenty of parking. We come here at least ones a week. read more

I have come here for years and won't be back. All our food was cold than we had to wait for silverware after asking 2 different waitresses and my father never received his food. The service and food have gone way down and they can't blame covid. Unless covid affects regular common sense of customer service read more

Disappointed today... Waitress ignored me while waiting to be seated, to acknowledge 3 Caucasian men who came in after me... Very disappointed... Then she returned to waiting area and still ignored me...Another waitress seated me and my 3 guests... Felt she was looking towards her tip..Melissa was our waitress... She was GREAT! read more

I have been eating at Tee Jaye's Country Place Restaurants All over Columbus for many years now. It is Always just OK. I have often felt that it could be so much more. It just shouts low rent Hillbilly, from the Appalachia style twangy music to the dingy yellow overall look of the restaurants. The hash browns are never quite done and the " Barnyard Buster" resembles wallpaper paste. The green beans, corn etc. are right out of a # 10 can, no imagination what so ever. Gravy, (powder) just add water and stir. Fine for 1970 but not so much now. Hot sauce can't fix everything. The service is quick and friendly but you always come away thinking " Wish I'd gone someplace else". read more

Cozy, feels like family and simple. Don't come here if you're wanting fancy or cutting edge cuisine. Good for family meet-ups and coffee drinking whilst talking to friends. Super awesome, good tempered staff read more

This might be one of the better locations. Nice staff, on the cleaner side, and a very involved manger with a great personality. Food is the same. read more

Our waitress was Amy and very good. She was fast to get our meal. She was very patient and had a great personality. We were originally going to do Applebee's but decided to try this place. They were very busy so we seated our selfs. The food was very good. We had roasted turkey split sand which and green beans on the side. They meal was very tasty and there was a lot to eat. The price was very reasonable. For dessert we hadApple Dumpling with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was very tasty and worth the money. Give the place a try. read more

I have been a customer of this restaurant since it opened in this location! I had an excellent experience with my daughter, today! Barnyard Busters were very good! The biscuits were fresh and the gravy was just right! Sometimes the gravy can get a little runny or too thick, but today was near perfect! Thanks for the great time! read more

We love going here for breakfast!!! Don't know about lunch and dinner, like I said we love their breakfast. Cannot pick one thing that is the best, it comes down to what you are in the mood for, we love it all read more

The manager there refuses to speak even when you speak first. Always has a fed up look on his face. He treats servers like crap! You can't see the place going s on Hamilton due to tree and shrubs. Should remove them and put lighted sign ON building! If they can't see you, they can't stop. Servers leave food in window while it dies and the customer get cold food. They need a management shake up, maybe higher than the manager since he acts with no controls. Maybe you are so happy to have a warm body as manager and willing to accept anything from him. I remember when it was standing room only. I have been a 3 time a week customer for many years and sad to see things like they are today. Ask your manager why you can't keep help. read more

Great family style diner. You can can have all your standard American style breakfasts form county ham to biscuits and gravy. Lunch and dinner is good too. I'm a big fan of the corn bread. Always friendly service and great country music playing. I was impressed today by the fact that my waitress had the kitchen totally redo my order when they screwed it up initially. She noticed the screw up right away and didn't need me to point it out. They don't make a lot of mistakes here, but when they do, they quickly make it right. read more

The food was so good and great price. The restaurant is super cute too, reminds me of grandma's house.

I took my family to TeeJays for breakfast and even my 9 year old was disappointed! All 4 of us had either pancakes or french toast and they didn't bring syrup or butter. I had to go find a random server and ask for syrup. I had scrabbled eggs on the side and they placed the eggs on top of my pancakes? The hostess was very friendly...thats about the only positive thing I can say. read more

Plain and simple, best place for breakfast in the area. Tee-Jayes is a columbus staple that has the same quality breakfast as you would see at a bob evans or the like, at a price that's far less. Homey service, simple atmosphere, not afraid to use plastic cups for water glasses. It's just a great place. read more

I want to be fair, but this place is badly in need of a major remodeling, I ate there today October 7, 2019, It looks and smell's terrible. The barnyardbuster is still good, but I will not return until they fix this place up. read more

For all your 3AM altered state munchies I definitely recommend going elsewhere. Food was cold and had legs. Left me wishing I'd ate the Uber cost and just hit up Waffle House a few miles away. Save yourself the heartache! P.S. I miss Hound Dog's drunk stoner hours. read more

I grew up eating here but having had some bad experiences I had not eaten here for a long time. This location is. Lean and the wait staff fabulous. The food is ok... very basic. I wouldn't say it's a place to go for a great meal but it's definitely passable. read more

Eat here a couple times a month. Good down home comfort food. May be our go to for Thanksgiving again this year.
